Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 510
◈ 510. [Evil Side] White night
Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht?
Father, can’t you see that devil lord??
Den Erlenkönig mit Kron und Schweif?
The devil wearing a gold crown and cloak?
***
My first memory of the midnight sun was of the world burning..
On a boat swaying in the waves, in my father's arms.
Byakuya watched from afar as his hometown - the land once called the Eastern Continent - was engulfed in flames..
It was a terrible fire demon. The whole world was burning black and turning to ashes without even leaving a trace of anything..
Not only the earth, but even the sky.
Everything was covered in black smoke, and it seemed as if even the sky had turned to ash..
Baekya, who was blankly watching this scene, whispered quietly..
“Why is my hometown burning??”
The father, who was holding his daughter tightly, answered quietly..
“Our emperor made a wish..”
“To whom??”
“‘To the ‘wish-granting devil’. Stop being mesmerized…….”
A vague black shape floated in the sky over the Eastern Continent..
《wish came true.》
The being, which looked like a shadow of a person, opened its mouth made of white space and laughed horribly..
《This is the result of that wish!》
Byakuya blankly looked at the being..
That's the devil that grants wishes.
The source of evil that destroyed my hometown.
The survivors on the boat pointed to the devil and whispered another name for him..
-The devil king.
“What wish did the emperor of our country make??”
“I don't know that much. But this is the result.”
What kind of wish do you have to make that will result in the entire continent burning?.
And why does the ‘wish-granting devil’ do such cruel things?.
Little Baekya couldn't understand..
Baekya, who was looking up blankly at the burning dark red sky, opened her eyes in surprise..
“Father, your eyes… … ! There is a lot of snow in the sky.”
It was just as he said..
Thousands of giant eyes were open in the sky, and they were silently watching the continent being destroyed..
With a focused gaze, as if examining something very interesting..
“Why are they watching our hometown burn??”
“That's them... … This is because it is the pastime of great foreign gods..”
The father answered the innocent child's question with a trembling voice..
“A game of destruction over the destruction of a world... … They enjoy watching this game..”
“It's like pouring water on an anthill and watching.?”
“Yes, that's how it feels, for a being on a higher level than us to be watching.…….”
The father held back his tears and stroked his daughter's head..
Flames rained down from the sky. The ship next to it was engulfed in flames and was torn to pieces..
Fragments of what used to be people, pieces of boats, and seawater foam splashed out. Roars and screams filled the surroundings..
The father screamed and hugged Baekya, but in his arms, Baekya was still looking up at the sky..
Thousands of pairs of eyes engraved in the burning sky.
And, the existence of the 'wish-granting devil' - the devil, who seems to have prepared this feast for those eyes..
“……I won't forgive you.”
In the coming hell, the white night cried out with a clear will..
“I will never forgive them.”
My father looked down at the midnight sun in surprise. Byakuya clenched his small fists..
“Our pain, our tears... … I will definitely punish those evil beings who use it for entertainment..”
“Don't talk nonsense, baby! They are beings from another world. we can't even touch…….”
“There must be a way. Just as they burned our world, there must be a way for us to reach them..”
The boat moved forward and made a crashing sound..
Everything that reached the ship was a corpse. Burnt corpses were lined up beneath the water..
In the center of this hell island, Byakuya faced his father and declared:.
“It doesn't matter how long it takes. Surely, I will have to reach them.”
“…….”
When the rain of fire stopped.
What was initially a fleet consisted of only a few small boats remaining..
My hometown burned and collapsed into the sea. Now it feels like a lie that there was once land here..
All that was left was a fire on the sea.
“I'll help you too, baby..”
And then the father said to his daughter.
“Our clan… … And this father has also been doing research to reach them. I'll pass on the research..”
“…….”
“Make our clan’s long-cherished wish come true. So that such a tragedy never repeats itself in the world again..”
In the arms of her father, who rowed the boat forward, Byakuya continued to look up at the sky..
Thousands of eyes floating in the sky.
That cruel gaze, like looking down at a fun toy.
I will never be the target of those gazes again. I will never be in a position to look down on you again..
Byakuya, the final successor to the fallen shaman of the Eastern Continent, made a promise at this moment..
***
The destination for the survivors of the Eastern Continent who reached the Western Continent was the Lake Kingdom..
The most powerful magic kingdom of its time, with a huge city floating in the air above a clear turquoise lake. lake kingdom.
The wizards here gladly welcomed them. The magic that was passed down only in the East had sufficient research value..
Byakuya, who set up his magic tower research center in a corner of the Lake Kingdom, inherited his clan's research and devoted himself to it..
The research done by the clan's shamans to reach foreign gods resulted in a single clue..
origins of magic.
Originally, mankind could not use magic. But someone took the spark of magic from the other world and handed it into the hands of mankind..
And foreign media are from another world…….
The process by which magic was first transmitted from the other world to humanity. If this was uncovered, it would lead to clues that would lead to the beings above that constellation..
Byakuya dedicated his life to research..
…….
But before a lifetime of research could reach a conclusion, Byakuya's lifespan quickly wore out..
Although she was an excellent sorcerer and sorceress, she was naturally weak. And this was no different for the rest of the clan..
When she was not even 40 years old, the people she had escaped with from the neighborhood, including her father, had all died, and she was left alone, suffering from various illnesses..
“Cough!”
As Baek Ya vomited blood, he realized that his death was near..
‘Do not be ridiculous…….’
Byakuya trembled with fear over his dying body..
‘Can you close your eyes like this?……!’
Let alone reaching foreign media, it did not even reach the final stage of research. I couldn't die like this, even if it was unfair..
So, Byakuya decided to touch the taboo..
‘Rich).’
I decided to become undead myself..
I will complete my research even if I become a dead person..
Definitely - someday, definitely. I will uncover the origin of magic and come into contact with the malice of the other world..
The magic to resurrect as an undead was difficult to obtain even in the Lake Kingdom..
After casting the lich resurrection magic that he had managed to save, Byakuya swallowed his dry saliva..
To use this magic, you had to die once, and you had to die now while you still had the power to use the magic..
In other words… … I had to commit suicide.
‘It's to save this world.’
Byakuya trembled and placed the tip of the staff loaded with attack magic to his temple..
‘To avoid repeating the tragedy of my hometown, to punish those devilish foreigners.……!’
Byakuya closed his eyes tightly and used loaded magic..
taang-!
Blood splattered everywhere, and the wizard's body fell forward..
That's how the white night died.
***
The half-rotten skeleton raised its eyelids, which, as expected, were half gone..
“big… … omg!”
It was only after he took a deep breath and stood up that Baekya realized..
That you have become a body that no longer needs to breathe..
‘success… … Did you do it??’
Baekya managed to raise his creaking body and looked at the dust-filled mirror..
I saw my own half-decomposed body..
Lich resurrection magic takes time to revive. Even though he had put preservative magic on his body in advance, it seems to have rotted away..
‘This time… … How much time has passed……?’
Baekya took a vain breath after checking the hourglass magic she had previously used to check the time that had passed since her resurrection..
‘10Years have passed……?’
It took a lot longer than expected, but I was able to escape death anyway..
Holding on to his tattered, rotten body, Byakuya stood at the window of the Magic Tower and looked down. It was to see how the streets have changed over the past 10 years..
“……?”
And then I discovered something strange..
Tuk. patter.
it was pouring rain.
But the color of the rain falling on the window... … something was strange.
‘What is this??’
Byakuya looked up at the sky in confusion..
‘black… … rain?’
no. it wasn't rain.
Astonishment flashed in Baekya's eyes as she looked around..
Shoot aaaaa!
Black waves were pouring down from outside the Lake Kingdom like a tsunami. The water from the overflowing lake was covering the city..
The day Byakuya succeeded in being resurrected as a lich, coincidentally, was the moment when the Lake Kingdom was destroyed..
***
bang! Kwagwagwagwang!
The levitation magic that allowed the Lake Kingdom to float on the lake stopped all at once..
Immediately afterwards, the entire city kingdom floating on the lake fell to the bottom of the lake. The great city began to slowly sink.
The barrier surrounding the outskirts of the Lake Kingdom was activated and pushed back the flooding water of the lake, but it could not hold out for long..
The entire city sank beneath the lake, along with the barrier, cracks appeared in various parts of the barrier that could not withstand the water pressure, and water from the lake began to pour into the city like a flood..
“Wow!”
“what?! What happened??!”
“Everyone, everyone calm down! The royal wizards will soon sort things out.……!”
The streets were chaotic..
People either screamed, ran away, or tried to reassure those around them by believing in the power of the royal family and the magic kingdom..
But the ending that befell them all was the same.
Quaaaaaaa!
The black lake's water poured down like a bombardment..
The streams of water that broke the barrier and fell into the city entered the inner city one by one from the outskirts of the city..
People caught in the water disappeared into the black water without even being able to scream..
And all those who had not yet died desperately ran toward the inner castle..
The resistant area had its own high-performance barrier. Black water rose from all directions, but the barrier in the inner region was still holding up well..
People running from outside pounded hard on the castle gate..
“Open it! hurry!”
“Can't you see the water coming from behind?! We all die!”
“Save me, please! Help me……!”
However, the security forces at the inner city checkpoint did not open the door even in this situation. The guard captain shouted loudly..
“Even if the entire Lake Kingdom is submerged, unauthorized people cannot enter the inner city.!”
“These crazy bastards……!”
“Is permission a problem now?! Even in this situation, do you consider class?!”
“If this continues, everyone is going to die! Open the door!”
The people who were knocking on the gate could not wait any longer and began climbing the inner wall. Then the guard commander gave a fierce command:.
“Execute those climbing the castle walls! No matter how emergency it is, it must be handled according to the law! It's all summary judgment! summary judgment……!”
But the guards never used the weapons in their hands..
Shoot aaaaa!
This was because the spray had reached the outside of the castle walls before that..
A black wave with a terrifying mass crashed in, and countless people filling the streets were literally swept away like sand and disappeared beneath the black water..
The guard captain, who had been staring at this scene, let out a laugh..
“Ha, non-nationals, they look good.…….”
Take a look. So so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so such.
The smile slowly disappeared from the guard captain's mouth..
The barrier surrounding the resistant compartment was also slowly cracking..
And then, just a few seconds later.
Kwasik! Kwagwagwagwang!
The barrier of the inner castle was shattered, and the walls surrounding the inner castle were also swallowed up by the waves..
The inner city, where the royal family and nobles of the Lake Kingdom live, was also quickly engulfed in black spray..
The water covered everyone, including the guards and nobles, without discrimination..
The entire Lake Kingdom was being swept away. Once the last remaining inner and outer barrier magic is completely extinguished, the city will be completely submerged in water..
“…….”
Byakuya, who was watching all this in a daze from the top floor of the Magic Tower, suddenly sensed something and looked up..
was there.
It sinks completely to the bottom of the lake, with pitch-black water visible instead of the sky... … Before I knew it, thousands of eyes were open..
They were the foreign gods of the other world who watched when Midnight Night's hometown was destroyed..
and underneath it-
《wish came true.》
As expected, it happened this time too.
《And this is the price.》
The wish-granting demon who destroyed Byakuya's hometown - the Demon King, with a white smile on his shadow-like body..
He was looking down with satisfaction at the destruction of the Lake Kingdom..
Crackling!
Baekya gritted his teeth with his clearly exposed jawbone..
“okay… … Is it you again?……!”
The tragedy of the underworld must be a very enjoyable pastime for those damn foreign media..
Byakuya was trembling with anger and had just been resurrected and used magic with his creaking body..
“I am the one who survived that hell. I will definitely survive this water hell..”
Byakuya poured all his magical power and cast a protective spell on the magic tower..
The pouring waves crashed into the magic tower. The tower shook violently, the protective magic was removed, the bricks broke, and the glass windows shattered..
Water poured into the tower. Countless water droplets splashed onto the decayed skin of the lich that had just been revived..
However, Byakuya gritted his teeth and repaired the magic tower. The magic tower did not collapse as if it was about to collapse and barely held on..
The midnight sun roared in the endless pouring water of the black lake that filled the surroundings..
“And I will definitely reach the same heights as you.……!”
